Exceprt vs Full Content

I would like to show just excerpts rather than full content.

Another option would be a plugin that allows for full content in the feed and I can use the more tag to limit the post content on the home page. I looked at “full feed” plugin but that did not seem to work on this version of wordpress.

Any ideas?

I needed to do this also.

I created a child theme and edited the content.php file.

I changed the section of the file to look like this.

<section class="article-content">

	<?php

		highwind_content_entry_top();

    //Load excerpt if a post has one else show content.
		if (empty($post->post_excerpt)) {

			the_content( __( 'Continue Reading...', 'highwind' ) );

		} else {

			if ( is_single() ) {  //Displaying Single Post page

				the_content( __( 'Continue Reading...', 'highwind' ) );

			} else {

				the_excerpt();

			}

		}

		wp_link_pages();

		highwind_content_entry_bottom();

	?>

</section><!-- /.article-content -->

That sounds clever but i can’t get it work =/

do you confirm it still works for you ?

EDIT :
I just put

<?php

		highwind_content_entry_top();

    //Load excerpt if a post has one else show content.

			if ( is_single() ) {  //Displaying Single Post page

				the_content( __( 'Continue Reading...', 'highwind' ) );

			} else {

				the_excerpt();

			}

		wp_link_pages();

		highwind_content_entry_bottom();

and it seems ok 🙂

I ended up using a plugin that worked great for what I was trying to accomplish…
